Scarlet African Morning Glory (Stictocardia macalusoi)

An introduced ornamental liana native to the southern Somalia. Flowers open at dawn and close near sunset. Cultivated in gardens. Stictocardia beraviensis (Hawaiian Sunset Vine/Hawaiian Bell/Braveheart Vine ) is a closely related species which is extremely hard to tell apart from this.
